A perspective is given and recommendations are made for restructuring education personnel development with major emphasis
on preservice teacher education. Issues facing teacher education are put in a socio-historical context. It is stated that
teacher training has been largely separated from the public school system, and that training has been overloaded with pedagogical
theory before the prospective teacher's experience is broad enough to absorb it. The potential institutional arrangements
required for a professional school of pedagogy are examined. A proposed program in pedagogical education is presented, with
its focus on the ability to do the job for which training is given. This program is mainly field-based with the campus serving
for basic field preparation. Types of knowledge are identified and their characteristics discussed by showing how each type
functions in teaching behavior. What is known about how to teach skills and concepts to teachers is delineated. The final
section presents ways to bring about the proposed changes. The role and responsibilities of college faculty and what sort
of coalitions will be necessary to effect new policies and programs of pedagogical education are discussed. (Jd)

This book provides an overview of research on current developments and problems in the training of teachers. A full discussion
of the task of conceptualizing teaching skills leads to a critical review of recent research into the effects of various types
of teaching behavior upon pupils. The book questions whether or not there are teaching behaviors so closely related to pupil
growth that they can be justifiably included in programs for teacher education. There are suggestions for designing correlational
studies, analyzing the results, and selecting variables. Two chapters are devoted to effective methods of training teachers
to produce pupils who can be self-directive and to a comparison of teacher-controlled approaches with individualized programs.
Another chapter suggests different approaches to the problem of shaping the attitudes of teachers. The book concludes with
a framework of concepts with which to analyze designs for teacher education programs, using a number of designs for teacher
education as a basis, especially the comprehensive elementary teacher education models sponsored by the U.S. Office of Education.

Written to emphasize the harmful consequences of placing the total burden of bringing up the young on the family and the school,
to suggest the coordination of adult society with schooling, to renew an interest in cognitive and ethical learning, and to
emphasize the need for professional competence, this book discusses the alienation of youth from the adult society in relation
to school reform. Implicit in the analysis of schooling are changes in curricula, training programs for school personnel,
administrative and organizational practices, conditions for utilizing professional competence, and fiscal policy. Recommendations
for implementation include involving youth in the world of work, establishing minimum achievement floors including basic learning
for succeeding in the adult world, reducing school curricula to minimum essentials for reaching basic achievement floors,
emphasizing diagnostic skills in preservice teacher education, defining principals' tasks to emphasize improving instruction,
creating minicourses for socialization to the adult world, setting up an accounting system for all youth, equalizing funds
for schools through federal support, improving teacher training and assignments to allow for the exercise of professional
competence, and establishing national coordination of school reform. (Author/DW)

Those who plan to develop protocol materials will benefit from the efforts that have been put forth by others when they use

production of materials, the problems encountered and the solutions attempted, a collection of documents that have been developed
by project directors, the Leadership Training Institute, and others whose expertise has been sought to give assistance to
the program. The handbook is arranged into six major sections, in addition to an overview. The first section provides an introduction
to protocol and training materials. The next section raises questions and supplies some answers in the problems of working
with concepts in the training of teachers. The third section, comprised of five papers, deals with the development of protocol
materials including information on the master plan, teacher education, concepts, cues and miscues, and progressive evaluation.
The last section focuses on establishing criteria for selecting protocol materials for distribution. (Sjm)

This is the first phase of a 5-year investigation into the logic of teaching the secondary school. Due to the unstructured
nature of classroom discourse, this stage of the investigation is classificatory and descriptive. Topics covered include (1)
schools, teachers, and recordings (schools involved, selection of subject areas, establishing rapport with teachers, records
and transcriptions of background material), (2) the unit of classroom discourse, (3) criteria for identifying units of classroom
discourse, (4) classification of episodes (entries as the base of classification, development of categories, kinds of entries,
notes on logic of categories), (5) criteria for classifying entries, and (6) analysis. (Af)
